First, and I'm pulling this right out of my butt, but I don't think any of the Aqua specializations have focused too much on anything Jaguar specific (well, based on the lack of "this if for Jaguar" or "This is for 10.2" comments in the commits).
Second, you could consider a source build, but you'll probably need help from the developers' list based on the last build information for OS X that I saw.
Finally, I'm going to send this to both the Dev list (for whomever may be building for OS X) and to Hub (stable maintainer).
Be patient, cross your fingers and have a dead chicken on standby,
Eric
